Today, KB Home (NYSE: KBH) unveiled the nation’s first
HomeKit-enabled community at its Promenade at Communications Hill
in San Jose. KB Home is the first homebuilder to make a HomeKit
smart-home package available to homebuyers. Along with its
introduction at Promenade at Communications Hill, the Apple HomeKit
package will also be available for buyers at KB Home’s Magnolia at
Patterson Ranch community.
A model home showcasing how KB homeowners can simply and
securely monitor and control Apple HomeKit-compatible accessories,
such as lighting, door locks and other security features, and more,
conveniently from their iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, is now open at
Promenade at Communications Hill.
Apple’s Home app delivers a simple and secure interface to
manage HomeKit-integrated home automation products in one place,
allowing homeowners to connect and control their environment
whether at home or away. For example, the Home app allows users to
set customized scenes, such as “Leaving Home,” which could turn off
lights, lock the doors, and lower the thermostat.
Designed with today’s tech-savvy buyer in mind, Promenade at
Communications Hill offers convenient city living close to San
Jose’s shopping, dining, nightlife and cultural attractions, as
well as to the area’s major Silicon Valley employers. The community
also provides easy access to Interstates 880, 680 and U.S. Highway
101.
The three-story floor plans available at Promenade range in size
from 2,148 to 2,178 square feet, and can be built with up to five
bedrooms, four baths, and a two-car garage. Pricing begins in the
low-$900,000s.
The HomeKit-equipped model home at Promenade at Communications
Hill is now open for tours at 307 Adeline Street in San Jose. For
